Perks for the Parents

This pretty apartment in an ancient estate near Siena shares an infinity pool with views of a Tuscan valley and is surrounded by 5 hectares of carefully maintained grounds. There are 2 bedrooms, 1 with twin beds and 1 with a full size/double bed, and an open living/dining area with a sofa bed. The apartment has a private terrace. There is also a shared terrace space with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside, including the town of San Gimignano and the Chianti region.

Why Kids Love it

This is a delightful property for free-range children - there is plenty of space to run and play in 5 hectares of colorful, carefully maintained gardens and green areas. There is a shared infinity pool overlooking the valley plus a picnic area, children’s playground, and a recreation room with ping pong and table football. Tear them away from the estate to take day trips to Siena, to nearby medieval villages in search of history and gelato, and to wine estates and world class art galleries. A crib and plenty of items are available for babies and young children.

Style Notes

Countryside chic. The apartment is part of Ripostena Country house, a private ancient hamlet restored according to traditional Tuscan style. It has traditional Tuscan touches - exposed brickwork, wooden furniture and terracotta floors - twinned with pretty sprigged linen and industrial-chic metalwork. The overall effect is comfortable and welcoming. The master bedroom has a stunning beamed roof and exposed brickwork wall. We love the setting as much as the property.
